Gazel MANCHESTER of Orwell Killed in Automobile Crash
Miss Gazel Manchester, aged 51 and daughter of Mr. And Mrs. George
Manchester of Orwell, was instantly killed yesterday morning at about 8:30
o’clock when the car she was driving to her work at the Citizens National
Bank here went out of control on an icy section of Orwell Hill and crashed
into a tree. The force of the impact caved the right side of the
machine into the left side where Miss Manchester was seated as the vehicle
wrapped itself around the tree. It was demolished. Miss
Manchester, who was alone, sustained a fractured neck, fractures of both
legs and internal injuries. She was pronounced dead at the scene
by Dr. Henry Brown of LeRaysville. Mrs. Robert Kennedy of Orwell
heard the crash and was the first at the scene. She shut off the
ignition, as the motor was still running. Rex Russell, also of Orwell,
then arrived and notified the State Police here who in turn summoned the
Sayre State Police as the tragedy occurred within the Sayre station’s jurisdiction.
Miss Manchester was trapped in the car and the seats had to be removed
before her body could be released. The Wysox ambulance was called
and removed the remains to Sutfin Funeral Chapel at Nichols. Miss
Manchester was born at North Loup, Neb., on June 24, 1905. She graduated
from Towanda High School in 1924 and for a time was employed in the general
store at Orwell. Later she worked here for the Towanda Wholesale
Co. In 1939 she joined the staff of the Farmers National Bank at
Rome, showing such an aptitude for the work that she became teller and
then assistant cashier. Ten years ago she came to the Citizens National
Bank of Towanda and at the time of her death was a teller, was in charge
of the Savings Account Dept. and the Christmas Club. Scores of Towanda
and vicinity residents came to know her at the Citizens Bank and were attracted
by her courtesy, her efficiency and her general thoughtfulness and pleasant
manner. She made many friends in Towanda and her tragic death yesterday
morning caused deep shock and profound sorrow. She was a member
of Orwell Grange No. 1561. Surviving in addition to her parents,
George and Lulu Manchester, is a brother, Clarence, of Dattesburg, S.C.
The body is at the Sutfin Funeral Chapel in Nichols where it will be until
the day of the funeral. Friends may call there this evening and Wednesday
evening from 7 to 9 o’clock. (Orwell Cemetery) The Daily Review
